Directions
- Cut the onions and cook them in a pan for 10 minutes with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt
- Let the onions rest until cool
- Cut and mix the different cheeses in the desired proportions. Keep in mind that Roquefort cheese is always used in a smaller proportion than the rest since its flavor is a bit intense.
- Now it’s time to make your empanadas one by one
- To give them the classic golden color, paint each empanada with an egg. Optionally put a pinch of sugar on top
- Put the empanadas in the oven at maximum power and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Enjoy!
